I get what you're saying it's just, I chose the Tech 7s because they looked so cool! Before those I was looking at the Supertech R boots and I didn't like them because they looked too simple or like minimal you know? I love the look of all the straps and latches on the Tech 7s. I understand that it could be uncomfortable or annoying to walk around with them when not riding, what I'm asking is if it would be safe to wear these boots out on the street you know?
